Three Sentenced in NCAA Corruption Trial

They were flagrant fouls. Two Adidas employees and a would-be agent have been sentenced to at least six months in prison after being convicted on wire fraud charges last year. They were accused of conspiring to pay $100,000 to prospect Brian Bowen’s family in exchange for his signing to play basketball for the University of Louisville. Two more trials are pending against coaches allegedly involved in a pay-for-play scheme.
